Judas Priest are back with the new album "Redeemer of souls". Rob Halford and band end with the upcoming longplayer the six years of release-break and go on after "Nostradamus" with the classic-epic Metal-sound which made the British group one of the most influential bands of the whole genre. Initially guitarist Richie Faulkner was also in the studio, who was also involved with the songwriting of the material with Glenn Tipton and Rob Halford.

The new album does not disappoint. Every track is well crafted, Halford is still brilliant, cracking vocals, powerful guitars, and the angel in trenchcoat character on the album cover could easily kick the behinds of some comic book characters, he is that cool. Get the 2 CD deluxe edition, it should have a place in every metalheads' collection. Not many things nowadays live up to the hype, but you can rely on Judas Priest to always deliver. Buy. It. dude.
